Perspectives

I learned that when nudis are stressed, they start mating.  They want to keep their species going.

The morning dives were really good for me, but bad for others.  It's so funny that all of us go down on the same dive and come up with different experiences!  I asked Larry the dive site name and he said "Boring".

I learned about the differences in the gill structure between:

• Goniodoridella geminae - opaque white
• Goniodoridella savignyi - central gill comes off the dorsal yellow line and is just a single line
• Goniodoridella unidonta - central gill comes off the dorsal yellow line and shaped like a Y (stalk with two ends)

This is transcribed from an audio file I had Gary dictate at breakfast.

There was some excitement about Gary organizing a Blackwater Dive.  It was quickly squashed as the resort really did not have the capability at this time to do it.  I guess they do advertise it as an option on their website... but duh, they don't even have running lights on the boat.

On the fourth dive of the day on the house reef wall, I went a little deep and ran out of bottom time because I switched to air.  Oh well, I don't feel like I missed anything.

I wore my Elysia necklace charm to dinner.  I put it on a hair tie because the necklace strap broke.  I need to replace that!
